Who is buying these, and who is wearing them?

Government performance rating hits new low in survey #NZPol Russell Palmer, Political Reporter [email protected] Greens are now seen as as capable of dealing with the same amount of issues as Nats, Nats rated at 3.9 out of 10, the lowest of any party since the IPSOS Survey began in 2017 lol

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

Walking to work in London and being hit by a thump of culture shock. It’s amazing how many people are commuting to work on public bicycles here! Inspiring, really! #LoveLondon

Nobody wants this, but it’s about genocide.

Happy Labour Day Aotearoa. #nzpol

One final bit of good news - 234600 people across the motu voted to remove Māori wards, 245800 to keep them - 51.1% of all votes were to keep them, 48.9% not to. The majority of the country that voted were in favour so suck it coalition!

Can you fix bikes, puncture repair or help out with our big bike fix up? Get in touch!

#nzpol Aotearoa New Zealand, Everywhere that Chris Luxon, David Seymour, Winston Peters or any CoC-up govt MPs turn up, I want you to #TurnYourBacks. Give your back to them and their cameras. Do it for Palestine! If they're speaking, turn your back. If they enter any room, turn your back!

the new zealand government is so fucking pathetic and embarassing

Grieving is weird when you’re numbed on anti-d’s. Any one experienced this?

The next time someone tells you adding good bike infrastructure will disadvantage disabled people, show them this short clip of an Utrecht bike street (fietsstraat). Controlling cars makes access better for everyone, and opens public space to more of the public.

Māori born overseas should 100% be automatically citizens here. Colonisers keep colonising 🤬

Hot take of the day: some people don’t deserve lemon trees.

My brother used to have a “piggy” bank just like this.

How did you smash capitalism today? I volunteered at my local bicycle charity, giving free bikes away. #smashcapsdaily

Is it weird to look into my dogs eyes and talk to ghosts? Its only when he’s givibg me love eyes with ears back?

Three big deaths in the last 6 weeks, health complications for my dad who is 89. Can I have a rest now please, my SSRI’s only cover so much pain. 😭

In an emergency/threat to life always call 111 in Aotearoa or whatever your local emergency response number is in your country

Boycott Nick Cave, the Zionist. Shame.

It’s in the Ballot is painful, but essential it seems. Why don’t we have good coverage and debates of local pols done by actual broadcasters. All power to Sam and the gang. #justsaying

I’m sitting outside Undies laundromat in Whanganui. My step mum died and I’m washing the curtains. Love my whānau but nice to have a break and a thermos of tea with the Mr.

In 1942, National MP F. W. Doidge in a parliamentary debate accused Peter Fraser's government, and in particular Minister of Labour Paddy Webb, of being "spineless" for not cracking down on striking workers during WWII. He was not reprimanded. babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc...

None of these invisible, complicit National MP’s turned up to the debate on Gaza. They could have said something but they didn’t even show up. Come election and voting, remember these faces and dont vote for them. #nzpol www.national.org.nz/team

It's considered very disorderly, and worthy of punishment, in the House of Parliament to imply that members should have strength of character, if you're wondering what kind of bullshit goes on in there.

I don't know if Speaker Brownlee has a spine or not, but this embarrassing display of faux-civility from another sad little man emasculated by a feisty woman strongly suggest he's a cockless wonder. #nzpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Your daily reminder that record profits are under paid wages & over priced goods. #GeneralStrike Vive la révolution

I have a new job. My insight: people who work for MPs get paid less but work so much harder that many people in ministries I’ve worked in. Come at me.

The one that’s really annoying me lately is Resene. The company owner is REFUSING to get on board and the workers at the paint factory are really struggling to get by and he makes the “it’s not fair to good workers if I pay them all the same” bs even though it’s supposed to be a base rate.

Helsinki hasn't had a traffic fatality in a year: "Helsinki's current traffic safety strategy, covering 2022–2026, is nearing completion. It has focused on improving safety for children, youth, pedestrians and cyclists with safer crosswalks and smarter intersection design."

They got intelligent planning, we got Simeon

How is this still happening?

My advice when advising a friend visiting Whanganui. If you have any Hunting and Fishing type gears, you know the every colour camo but the best is pink. wear that and you’ll fit right in. And go to the Saturday Markets. #realtalk

Since when was it hard to open a bank account for kids??

This seems to be happening more and more, someone should investigate. Might be a story here

Yes but nobody chanted anything so it's fine

Racist, fascist opportunists: "Do not conflate Israel with Jewsishness, that's anti semetic!" Also racist, fascist opportunists: "If you insult the IDF, you insult Jewsishness!" We see right through youuuuuuuuuuu

GPs, nurse practitioners will soon be allowed to diagnose and treat ADHD www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... Great news!!

I’m starting a new job next week and I’m really excited to be working with Wellington Green MPs in their electorate office. #bringiton

Believe me, no one truly knows what hunger feels like, To search for food for your children under endless American missiles for two years. Even I didn’t know hunger could destroy you like this. I have no words for this pain.

Photo of the Day. Credit to Palestinian photographer, Saeed Jaras. Posting this here because hardly any mainstream media outlets will publish it. An ongoing genocide silenced. #Gaza

Boo @rnzrss.bsky.social no body wants to hear from an ambassador of genocide. Or are you going to ask him some questions about Israel’s action in Gaza.

for the drivers behind me.

If only the pros outweighed the cons.

If the Regulatory Standards Bill is passed, Chris Hipkins says a Labour led government WILL repeal it in the first 100 days. Hell yesssss!!

I have said it before and I will say it again It is a massive fucking accessibility issue that some of the most highly trafficked train stations in the metlink network have public toilets that close at 6pm a need for a bathroom does not CEASE at 6PM!!!!!!i

I rang the Israeli Embassy last night, is it a coincidence that I had to sign into my Facebook today using a phone number and now my LinkedIn profile has been viewed by someone who works at Blackrock?

If I close my eyes will it go away?

RIP Sly Stone. One of the greats.

“F… the man who has been creeping around Wellington taking pics of girls at the gym and recording sex workers doing their jobs including me & my friends and f… the cops who have chosen to do sweet f… all about it despite the proof of his crimes because this man is high up in the govt.” #nzpol
